Agriculture restrictions

If you know anybody that keeps livestock in Plymouth (including chickens) the board of health is working on passing extremely restrictive regulations. Anyone who cares about being able to grow your own food might want to keep an eye out and/or email the board. Nothing official has been released yet but I’ve heard from members of other boards that it is coming.

Did Lena's Kitchen go out of business?

Super random, I know but they never seem to be open anymore. Am wondering if anyone knows what's up. My family used to love that place. https://www.leenaskitchenplymouth.com/

Looking for D&D Players in the Plymouth area for D&D!

Hello all!

I'm really excited to meet D&D people in the area, as I'm a bit new to Plymouth. I've been DMing for about 15 years now, and I love creating awesome stories with my players who are motivated to play and who are reliable to join and eventually do a whole campaign. I'm looking for 4 to 5 people or so.

My DMing style is somewhat similar to Matt Mercer in spirit, I love doing silly voices and making each other laugh. As a DM, I live for players having in-character scenes and dialogue and making creative character decisions. Not a fan of power-gaming, rules-lawyering, or meta-gaming in my groups.

This is an 18+ game with a slight preference to people nearish my age - I'm 29! Newer players are welcome to apply, though a little experience might be nice :)

So far, I've had really good experiences with people here on LFG. I haven't had any serious issues with any racism/sexism/homophobia, which I definitely want to keep that way. We'll talk about lines and veils once we get the group together.

I'm super excited to hear from people. Message me on Insta: lukewuzzy or Discord if interested - Luke of Blue Skies#4845

Request from the Community

Hi all – I'm conscious that this is a big ask, but reaching out here with a plea to the Reddit and broader community. I'm desperate yet hopeful to find a donor for my needed kidney transplant. I’ve been fighting kidney failure since 2005 from my initial diagnosis and my health has now reached the stage where I am in imminent need of a transplant for the best chance to live.

If you or someone you know is Blood Type O (+ or -) and willing to consider kidney donation, you’d be saving my life. Feel free to DM me and can discuss more details, donors can be located anywhere in the US.

The associated costs of evaluation, surgery, travel, and lost wages will be covered by my insurance and various programs and you will have a separate team of healthcare professionals that will evaluate you as a living donor. They will help you understand the associated risks and benefits and ensure your well-being in the eval / procedure.

Thanks again to all who are able to help / read / promote.

What pediatric primary care office do you love?

Moving family to Plymouth this fall, looking for local's recommendations on the best pediatric primary care spot in the area.

Any recommendations? Where I am now has a behavioral health (psych) department, a psychiatrist, lactation, a lab in house, and is under the umbrella of Boston Children's but owned independently by doctors. I would love to find a place with comparable resources at a medical home. But I know how primary care is these days. Where are you most happy with the care provided? Where is the place you cannot get in but wish you could?

Italian Grocery Store?

In search of Italian produced prosciutto ham. Can find US made in MB, StopNShop and alike; not what I’m looking to buy. Whole Foods Hingham is last resort. Nearby locations can work too. Thanks!

Massachusetts General Hospital Study: Are obsessive thoughts & repetitive behaviors causing you distress?

Hi all, I’m writing from Massachusetts General Hospital, where I work in research on obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Symptoms of OCD include obsessions (i.e., distressing and intrusive thoughts that keep coming back to you) and compulsions (i.e., repetitive behaviors that you feel compelled to do). I wanted to pass along an opportunity to participate in a research study that may be of interest to any of you who experience these symptoms and notice they are causing impairment to your life. The research study involves 1 virtual intake assessment lasting 2-3 hours and 2 in-person visits (lasting 3.5 and 2 hours, respectively) on back-to-back business days where you complete a fear learning computer task while we measure your brain waves (via electroencephalogram or EEG) and the sweatiness of your palms (via skin conductance) and administer a noninvasive form of brain stimulation (i.e., transcranial direct current stimulation or tDCS). You will be compensated $300 for your time upon completion of the study. If you are interested in learning more, please visit our website (https://mghocd.org/ocdfearstudy/), and if you are interested in participating, please fill out this 5-min survey: [https://redcap.link/x8d149fp].

If it looks like the study may be a good fit, we will be in touch with information about next steps! Any questions can be directed to mghocdfearstudy@partners.org or (617) 643-0850. Thanks so much and feel free to share this post with friends/family.

Exit 15 off ramp is a joke

I get off route 3 NB, stay in the left lane to take the left and almost get driven into at least twice a week by people either merging without looking or trying to take a left from the right lane. I’m at the point where I’m just gonna start letting the accidents happen instead of avoiding them

Cell Provider

Wondering which cell provider works the best in Plymouth, MA. I currently have Verizon and have noticed data to be pretty unreliable, and voice calls consistently drop on Sandwich St. near BID. Before testing out other providers (considering AT&T) I was hoping to get some input from other locals, thanks and I look forward to hearing your experience with cell providers in town!

Recommendations for Boat Charter for Upcoming Girls Trip?

Mostly what the title says. I'm planning a girls' weekend in the Plymouth area next month and was thinking it could be fun to do a little group boat ride for a few hours. I'm coming up short with my initial research though. Is this not something that's possible in the area? If it is possible, any suggestions?

Also welcome all recommendations for any other activities that would be fun for a group of 9 women in early 30s! Thanks!

What is the nickname for State Rd heading to Manomet

I grew up in Plymouth and when driving to Manomet off the old Exit 4, you can either take the left on Rocky Hill Rd or continue straight on 3A through the woods. What is the nickname for this section of the road going through the woods? I’m visiting and when driving to Manomet it’s been driving me crazy trying to remember it - and nobody I know knows what I’m talking about.

What’s with the town not finishing paving roads?

Idk that much about road construction so I could be wrong but there are several roads that have gotten redone over the years and it seems like they are just skipping the final step.

They are noticeably less smooth than other types of roads and the edges of the roads break up into a million little rocks (I think this is bitumen). They put signs up for a bit that says ‘loose stone’ and at first I thought they were going to do another step but eventually the signs disappear and the road stays the same. They don’t even paint lines on them!

Black cat road comes to mind as one recently done.

Scenic/secluded spots in Plymouth

Getting married in a few weeks and we would love to do our small ceremony outdoors.

I’m having trouble thinking of secluded outdoor spots though! Everything I think of is pretty high traffic.

So any beautiful outdoor spots you know of that don’t get a ton of traffic would be appreciated! Seating not necessary but nothing that’s going to be too much of a walk (ellisville beach is out for example 😭)

Come on down!

Want freedom, have a drink on the beach(just not from glass)? Come on down to the Florida Panhandle(Panama City Beach, Destin, Pensacola)... just read the news about plain clothes officers cracking down on "illegal activity ". There were permitted bonfires up and down the beaches here last night along with private citizens keeping us out if a recession by shooting off what must have been about 300k in fireworks non stop for about 4 hours! MERICA BABY!

Finding Trans Friendly Hair and Nail Salons

Hi there, I’m not sure if this is the best place to post for this, so if it is not, definitely let me know! My older sister began her transition about 5 months ago. Yesterday, her and I were talking about her wanting to get her hair and nails done, but she was worried about going to facility that might not be trans friendly.

I decided to do a little investigating today and was able to find Strands For Trans , but some people have expressed having a bad experience with this site since they don’t update their maps at times. This has resulted in some places coming under new management who should, presently, not be on this list. Of course, I’m sure this can be mitigated by giving a call to these facilities (which I am not opposed to doing), but before that, I wanted to find out if anyone might know of any other sites like this that are more updated? Or, if anyone is in the Boston, MA area (we are more towards the South Shore) and have some recommendations for trans friendly hair and nail salons, please let me know!
